Making Gune and Celebrating Gangaur

Gune is a traditional sweet snack made during the Gangaur festival in some states of North India. It’s the main sweet offered to Goddess Parvati during the Gangaur prayer. Usually, it’s made with refined wheat flour and white sugar, but I like wheat flour and sugar/jaggery. I learnt about this recipe from my mother-in-law after getting married.

Kadha for Cold and Cough Relief

Kadha is an Indian traditional herbal concoction used in Ayurvedic medicine to alleviate symptoms of cold, cough, and other respiratory ailments. It is made by simmering a variety of herbs and spices in water to extract their medicinal properties. Kadha typically includes ingredients such as ginger, cloves, black peppercorns, cinnamon, turmeric, and jaggery or honey for sweetness.
